Tarvisio - Moggio Udinese/Carnia, about 50-60 km
Today, the Alpe-Adria cycle path leads along abandoned railway lines through the beautiful Friulian Alps with intact, untouched nature and extensive forests. The best way to discover Venzone with its eventful history is to take a stroll through the old town, which is well worth seeing.
